Join Darley Newman at Vinnie’s Mootz in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, where “Little Italy in the Meadowlands” comes alive through Southern Italian flavors, homemade pizza, and fresh mozzarella.

Vincent Morelli, known as the “mozzarella man,” shares his approach to keeping traditional Italian food real while adding nostalgic touches inspired by his upbringing. Menu favorites include handmade pizza with a perfectly crisp crust, fresh mozzarella, and comforting Italian-inspired specialties that reflect both tradition and creativity.

From handmade pizza to interactive mozzarella-making, Vinnie’s Mootz delivers an authentic and flavorful experience in the heart of the Meadowlands.
